Well, I guess it's time for me to start thinking about a new thread pretty soon.

Wolfie has been acting a bit odd lately. Thursday night he got all grumped out about the day of errands, Christmas shopping, crowds, malls not having what he was looking for. He grumped around the house and went on and on about how we should move to New York. ( )

I had to make a real effort not to get into a mode of thinking:
"oh yeah, great--he's getting that dissatisfied with our lives--restless and having one foot out the door thing again--danger, danger--oh no, here we go AGAIN"!

I just teased him a little & said there was just as many things to get grumpy about in New York and that when I felt all negative and dissatisfied with my life it helps to remember all that I have to be grateful for.

Yesterday, he went out to do more errands and shopping. I think I have describe the whole thing he does about calling to tell me where he's going when he's out doing stuff. I have told him repeatedly that I do not expect or need him to do that, but he says it is his way of earning trust back and making amends. Usually tell me where he's going to go, and then call from the store and say, "I'm at such and such place, do you need anything? I'm heading home after this".

Yesterday, though he called me at work 4 times. It was almost like he was making up excuses to call. I mean, I appreciate him calling--but does he really feel he needs to call and say, "I'm shopping at Target and then I'm going to Hollywood Video"???

At the risk of having Delusions of Mental Telepathy...it seemed like there was some tone of fear or insecurity in his voice when he was calling.

After work I went out shopping. He called me from his work 3 times while I was shopping--just asking where I was. I could hear fear in his voice again and couldn't figure out why.

On my way home, he called the house to see if I was home yet, then called my cell to see where I was AND asked me to call him back at work to let me know when I'd gotten home.

Now I know that sometimes he worries about me when I'm on the road, but nowhere to extent that would explain all of these phone calls and the insecurity I was hearing in his voice! It was....well--it was WEIRD!

So this morning he comes home from work, initiates ML. I was going to get up afterwards and get started with my day, but he insisted that I stay in bed and sleep with him for awhile. Again--this was unusual. He had me in such a bearhug in his sleep that I had to pry his arms off of me so I could get up and go to the bathroom.

At the risk of sounding like I'm looking a gift horse in the mouth--I'm kindof wondering what is up with him. Anybody have any thoughts about this behavior?
